Teaching Impact

Impact by Design

EDTE560: Technologies Curriculum, Pedagogies and Assessment

Part of my role as a Lecturer for the School of Education is designing units of work. In Semester 1, 2023 I designed a unit EDTE560: Technologies Curriculum, Pedagogies and Assessment.

Through the process of designing this unit I requested a change to the GUO to update the wording to better align with contemporary teaching practice. Evidence that I was successful in developing an engaging, relevant and impactful unit was seen in my SELT data, but most interestingly in the student reflections that were part of their second assessment task.

Written Testimonials

Student Experience of Learning & Teaching (SELT)

The SELT questionnaire is designed to collect confidential student feedback on various aspects of learning & teaching quality at the unit level.

SELT Surveys

The SELT survey is conducted online by the Centre for Education and Innovation (CEI) for the purpose of enabling students to provide confidential and constructive feedback on various aspects of their learning experience at the unit level and their views of the teaching practice in the unit. The SELT survey results are to be used together with data derived from Student Experience Survey (which is a benchmarking tool), student withdrawal rate and student success rate in the review and redevelopment of units to enhance the student experience.
